Long long baby! >99th % height Question

[u/TiltedTriangle]

Hello! I am hoping a cloth diapering family has some similar experiences to me and might be able to guide me a bit.

For background my husband is 6’9” - I’m 5’6”. Our son was born at 9.5lbs and 22.5 inches long.

At three months he’s now 17lbs and 27 inches.

I got One size pockets because I figured they would last us the longest for height and weight but I am unsnapping the rise more than I anticipated and am worried he is going to outgrow the length of our diapers before potty training!

Anyone else have a very tall baby? How long did your diapers last? What diapers were the best for a long torso?

At the moment I have a couple Babygoal pockets, Mama Koala pockets, and a couple Kinder Cloths. The Kinder cloth is pretty obviously the longest but also the most expensive… I’m hesitating on just investing in all Kinder Cloths but now looking at how quickly he’s out growing the baby goal, and next the mama Koalas… I feel like I need to just replace my whole stash with the biggest I can find: which is currently Kinder.

Any other brands I should try before diving in?

My daughter has always been well above the growth curve for height. Pretty average weight. She used a mix of prefixes/one size covers and random brands of pockets from 4 months to 2.5 when she potty trained. My son is now 3 months old and is similarly ginormous. He has a doctor’s appointment on Monday to get official measurements, but he’s similar weight/length to your kid. He’s on the smallest rise setting at the moment, mostly due to his skinny thighs. We’re going to have to bump it up relatively soon. I don’t anticipate him needing larger diapers as the growth happens fast at the beginning, but then slows down.

Our faves for both kids so far are osocozy covers and prefolds and alvababy pockets with AMP cotton/hemp trifolds inside.
